romancereadinglist 's review for:

Against a Wall by Cate C. Wells
4.5
emotional funny lighthearted tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This is the best first-person dual POV contemporary romance I’ve ever read. The characters are so real and their POVs are so distinct and full of voice and heart. Worth reading even if you’re put off by the “he bullied her” background- I usually hate bully romances but this one worked fantastically because you really deeply understand and empathize with the characters, even when they’ve messed up. 

My only critique is I would have liked a bit more “talking it out” at the end.
